Fans of Tom Cruise: They get to watch a great groundhog day-esque action thriller starring Tom Cruise. People who hate Tom Cruise: Literally a 2-hour horrific death montage of Tom Cruise. This film is a win-win for both sides.
Underrated? Dude, this film has a great rating and review idk why you're saying this. If you're saying this film is not quite popular then its kinda true
Compared to the source material it was pretty crappy though. I honestly would have enjoyed it lot more if I hadn't read the light novel or if I had never seen that it was based off the light novel.
When the guy who was yelling at him just goes completely quiet once he sees the dark look in Cage's eyes.. Words can't convey just how much I love that scene.
@@ElysiumCreator what if they arrived, but cloak themselves awaiting for the right time to invade. heck its real life. might no go the same way with the movie.
One of the best adaptation Hollywood ever made. The writer understands the core of the novel really well and adapts it into how Hollywood should look like. and put a lot of good craft into picture and plot. And yet another one is Godzilla we're about to go at it now. that one also another great adaptation into a hollywood culture.
I love this movie! The fact that all of the powered armor was actually physical effects instead of just CGI doesn't get enough credit. Eagerly awaiting the sequel!
@@lisasimpson8895 Honestly any game with aliens that you can re-spawn in is practically already using the live die repeat against aliens theme. The game prey gets bonus points for the aliens also being called mimics.
Loved this movie. I rewatch it often. I remember when it came out I saw it 3 times with a different group of friends from highschool every time and everyone loved it. Really hope the sequel works out
Kevin Vance I am sure there is no material to go with. The character of William Cage(Tom) or Kiriya Keiji ends and there is no more to follow. The most logical way to follow this could be by making a prequel exploring the life of Rita because in the manga there is a lot of stuff that in this movie is not covered.
Around the time Edge of Tomorrow got the greenlight Tom Cruise signed on for an adaptation of Yukikaze, another sci fi light novel involving fighter pilots and advanced AI fighting aliens that invaded through a interplanetary portal in Antarctica. Cruise is a licensed pilot and wanted to do more flying movies after Oblivion, but he ended up doing Top Gun: Maverick instead.
This movie is flawless and I consider it to be a science fiction masterwork. Brilliant adaptation, great screen play, immersive, funny, amazing character arc and very, very intelligent. One of my favourites.
Tom really helped production, when he saw how long it took for people to suit up, he offered I think 50 dollars to whoever can suit up the fastest. People dropped their times from I think 40 minutes to around 3.
aka Ricky i dont know now, they hired a writer in 2019 and director gave update very early 2020 but that’s before covid. It’s probably canceled or on ice until everything passes. You. Never know with studios now days.
Yeah. This is a great film. One of the best in years. The guy who wrote the book - said it was playing computer games that gave him the idea. Playing computer games - he'd get killed over and over but just respawn and eventually get past the things that killed him. At the end - he'd be congratulated by the game for being so great - but he felt that he was hardly worthy of such praise since he'd had to die enumerable times to get there. .
This movie was such a sleeper hit for me the year it came out. I was going in expecting a total cheese Cruise movie and was blown away by the story and hard sci fi elements.
This movie is amazing. The directors choice of shooting it on 35mm film instead of digital was a brilliant idea. I would love to see a 4K native native digital scan of the original negative.
Honestly the worst part would be with that power is that if he went on to live a great long life but on his death bed and he’d wake up back that the war making this an eternal time loop of suffering
The Mimics remind me of the Zerg to an extent. The Omega is very similar to the Overmind, Alphas could be seen as Cerebrates, since when either of them dies, they get revived one way or another (through time travel or reincarnation) and the Drones being basically Zerglings just much stronger. Pair this with soldiers wearing power armor, this is the closest we could get to having a Starcraft movie. Though I hope someone one day will prove me wrong...
Seen this Movie like a month or 2 ago, I can't believe I somehow missed it prior. It's got some great ideas, scenes and other things I haven't seen in other films. If it had alittle more polish or went further with it's ideas it would've been perfect I think. It really uses it's "die, restart" in some creative ways and telling the story.
This would make an absolutely badass hardcore game. Reset on death, and having to literally learn and plan your path through the game would be so cool.
Yea but my only complain is that it could never match Tom Cruise's character. Kaiji is some teen loser destined to die while Cage was a high ranking officer that was brought low.
@@Tonius126 for me the movie changed a lot of things, it doesn't make the movie bad but in the manga the evolution of the MC is a lot better (like his dead eyes and when he starts to give up) Tom cruise is more of a "hero", it could be just me but you can't really feel what he's feeling his face don't get the "no hope" feeling... I think they tried to make more of a comedy/action movie Sorry for bad English I am from Brazil
What?! They were worried about the word "Kill" lmao Successful film titles with the word Kill: A Time to Kill (1996) R | 149 min | Crime, Drama, Thriller. ... London Kills (2019- ) ... Killing Eve (2018-2022) ... The Killing (2011-2014) ... Kill Bill: Vol. ... Why Women Kill (2019-2021) ... The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) ... Orphan: First Kill (2022)
Leave it to the japanese to create an awesome premise. This and Battle Angel were good examples that Hollywood can adapt these stories into good movies so I have hopes for Attack on Titan to turn out well too...
Is this a re-upload? I swear I feel like I've seen you do this before... (this is a joke, yes i know he's done this before he even says it in the video)
Great movie. Very entertaining, hope they make another one. Will definately pay to see it. Core concept of the movies is like a one big, open world video game with unlimited lives that restarts the game when dead, atleast till he "loss" the ability after blood transfusion. Think of everyone else as NPC except cruise and the main alien characters.
One of the few movies I’ve watched over and over again and never get tired of.
Live watch repeat
Considering the movie is basically a repeat of scenes.
why tf did they not nuke the aliens
i mean in the cold war they almost nuked all of europe bc they didnt like politics this is a fucking invasion a content size why did they not nuke it
@@greensoda9904 makes for a great story.

This film is a win-win for both sides.
"I see this as an absolute win!"
exactly haha
Can't argue with that logic. Now then, would the film be improved with say, Tom Cruise being replaced with Christian Bale as the lead? Hard to say.
It makes a great double-bill with GHD. I've convinced at least one Tom Cruise-hater to watch the "death montage"
WE’LL SHOW HIM
This was such an underrated film. I saw it in theaters a couple weeks after release and absolutely loved it. Cage was a great character
There making a new one
@@spartanx9293 Remake or sequel?

Great movie they should do a prequel of this movie that centers on Emily blunts character and the events that lead to the first film.
Edge of Yesterday
@@thumbs4fingers 🤣 great name for the prequel !
They prolly could, the manga/book's twist was epic and tragic compared to the pretty happy hollywood ending of the movie.
Lee Joyner why?
I read recently that it will be a prequel and a sequel so we get our wish!
When the guy who was yelling at him just goes completely quiet once he sees the dark look in Cage's eyes..
Words can't convey just how much I love that scene.
One war beaten warrior recognizing another.
@@danifeatherby its sad in a way
“Set in 2020”
Me: *great. As if we don’t have enough crap to deal with already...*
But they didn’t arrive in 2015 so we should be good
@@ElysiumCreator what if they arrived, but cloak themselves awaiting for the right time to invade. heck its real life. might no go the same way with the movie.
wow, you re-edited a comment
The best scifi action film of recent years, one of my favorite films
One of the best adaptation Hollywood ever made.
The writer understands the core of the novel really well and adapts it into how Hollywood should look like. and put a lot of good craft into picture and plot.
And yet another one is Godzilla we're about to go at it now. that one also another great adaptation into a hollywood culture.
I share similar thoughts 🙆
Could you do the aliens in Battle Los Angeles.
Yes its on the list :)
Wow don't think I seen any reactions based on that movie ... Good movie to review 💯
I haven't heard about that movie in a long time.
I cant hear tha without thinking ratm
finally he likes a reply for Battle LA!!!
Underrated movie for sure. Thank the Walmart gods I found the blue ray for $5
can't wait for your review of the new Godzilla movie
I love this movie! The fact that all of the powered armor was actually physical effects instead of just CGI doesn't get enough credit. Eagerly awaiting the sequel!
Hearing about the effort and struggles making this film makes me appreciate it even more.
The mimics, and especially the alphas, are some of the best creature design in science fiction, in my opinion. :)
I think a proper anime for all you need is kill would be cool
and a game!
@@lisasimpson8895 Honestly any game with aliens that you can re-spawn in is practically already using the live die repeat against aliens theme. The game prey gets bonus points for the aliens also being called mimics.
I just clocked this now but Cage ( Tom Cruise) is basically an Omega now and has the ability to manipulate time. This movie is next level
This movie is superb. Great analysis bro. I think there's something wrong with your suit, There's a dead guy in it !
So basically...
Re:zero but the main character actually isn’t helpless
and theres no waifus
And there isn't some utako loser self-insert with no prospect whatsoever until he got transported to another world.
@@hazz1046 what about Rita.
@@hazz1046 Well rita is One,This Film is Based on a Manga,So Rita is a Waifu
He's helpless at the beginning but not at the end
There is very few movies i can watch more than once and this is one of them
“They thought having “kill” in the name was too negative... So they renamed it so it had “Die” in the title...
Loved this movie. I rewatch it often. I remember when it came out I saw it 3 times with a different group of friends from highschool every time and everyone loved it. Really hope the sequel works out
One of the best action sci-fi movies I've seen in a while. 👌
RIP Bill Paxton 🙏 (The actor who played the sergeant of j squad)
I heard Tom Cruz wanted really really really wanted to make another one. And produces responded with “tuff”
Kevin Vance I am sure there is no material to go with. The character of William Cage(Tom) or Kiriya Keiji ends and there is no more to follow. The most logical way to follow this could be by making a prequel exploring the life of Rita because in the manga there is a lot of stuff that in this movie is not covered.
Diosnel Frica yeah I know. But Hollywood doesn’t understand NOT have sequel

I just love this movie, not a single flaw. Is just perfect 😎 👌

that sceam of Cruise being run over by a truck is so funny
I think it must be the best Japanese manga to film adaptation! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Definitely, Speedracer is also up there.
@@l0sts0ul89 lol no.
@@FatGouf lol yes.
I just found this channel like a week ago and i been binging all ur vids. Love this channel keep up the great work
I know that feel, sad when you run out :(
Imagine if Cage got shitfaced the night before the first battle and had to relive a hangover every day. That would have sucked balls.
Tom really helped production, when he saw how long it took for people to suit up, he offered I think 50 dollars to whoever can suit up the fastest. People dropped their times from I think 40 minutes to around 3.
I got this movie on my phone and play it everytime I shower and get ready for the day/night it's my go to.
This was just the breakdown I needed after watching the film. I really love this channel for stuff like that.
"Edge of Groundhog Day"
YES.

you will only appreciate the greatness of the movie if you watch it a dozen time
this movie is a work of art, truly! but so underrated...
Could you do a video on Brightburn from....Brightburn (if there’s enough stuff to go off of)?
This movie was a fantastic surprise. Went in not expecting much, but came out thoroughly entertained and mind-blown.
Sequel coming and I can’t wait.
When?

Hey thanks for reposting this video. It was the first video I had seen of your channel and it was fantastic.
I read the manga and it was kind of hard to understand but it was an amazing manga. Please keep up the good work, Niyat!
This movie was such a sleeper hit for me the year it came out. I was going in expecting a total cheese Cruise movie and was blown away by the story and hard sci fi elements.
I’d really like to see you dig deeper into the symbolism/ meanings in films. You have a good delivery, smooth cadence, keep up the good work
Well this ain’t too far from the truth seeing as it’s based in 2020.
A surprise movie that took me by shock. it was amazing
Who would have thought that such a great idea did not originate in Hollywood.
Wait! So it’s basically modern day halo in this movie.
(Guitar riff intensifies)
isnt genocidal organ much more closer to halo?
This is one of the best movies of the last 10 years!
I love this film.
Appreciate all the extra effort that went in this movie. Really loved it and that female lead kicked ass :)))
Never rated Doug Liman before this masterpiece.
This movie is amazing. The directors choice of shooting it on 35mm film instead of digital was a brilliant idea. I would love to see a 4K native native digital scan of the original negative.
Can't wait for Sunday's upload :)

Top 10 movies of 2014. So damn underrated.
one of my favorite movies... I really hope the sequel happens!
One of the best scifi movies ever right up there with Serenity and District 9 also Oblivion.
We will miss bill Paxton The man who fought the xenomorphs RIP
As much as I dislike Tom Cruise, god help me he’s made some amazing movies. Including this one.
Blunt is fine af in this film
Ahh finally, Thanks man! I've been waiting for this one!
Super underrated movie! Excellent characters and action
BAD ASS movie!!! we need more movies like this!

Rare instance of a movie being better then a book

Awesome video Niyat!! I was wondering if you could do Pym particles?
Imagine if you could download a thousand battles the lives that would be saved and the heroes who be alive to accept their awards
An under rated movie that suffered from the problem of people not watching because of bad reviews from "critics".

Nice Job!
Nyat: Set in 2020
2020: write that down WRITE THAT DOWN
The best part that of this movie is how Cage tells Blunts character how many times they failed and was hiding out in the abandoned house
Nice cut! Well done!
Great female lead done right... Disney need to watch this movie now
What a coincidence, I was looking for some explanation on this movie. Thanks!
Do one on the virus from Train to Busan. Netflix movie
One of my favorite movies. Watched it in cinema with a friend . Still watching it until now 😂
Have y’all ever noticed that most movies like these are grabbed from Japanese manga
This was a terrific presentation

Excellent movie. If Halo or Warhammer 40k adopted this style, without the time travel aspect, plus some Starship Troopers landing action. Goddamn epic
All you need is kill is great I really liked it I will re-read again sometime
Excellent video. I liked the details on making the Film
Fantastic video. Thanks!
